Ghemon
Fantasmi Pt. 2

If I were drunk, I would feel better, but I imposed it on myself: no more alcohol. All the opportunities that were denied to me.....

"Ghosts fill my room, tonight..."

It seemed a bit too good: I hadn't felt like this in how long? It's been a while. I was starting to get bored!

"Since high school, my life has been a gynaeceum, me and women bound like Andromeda and Perseus"

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH what the hell is it? Absolutely the biggest nonsense. I haven't had all these stories. In fact, I've had very few; I don't complain about what I had, since what annihilated me was what I didn't have.

But they are all here: Paranoia, Fear, Frustration, Inadequacy, and Envy. My splendid ladies, all here, in my room. Each of them takes on the face of various memories that contributed to my near annihilation. My splendid girls, who turn into ghosts of my past....

I don't have alcohol to help me, my magnificent katana; not tonight. How do I intend to face you? WITH BARE HANDS, YOU STUPID COWS!!! Unsheathe your stupid swords, personify yourselves as whoever the hell you want, I don't care: I will face you all.

I'm without my katana: don't call me Goemon tonight, call me Ghemon. Just like him, a strong samurai who has already faced his ghosts a thousand times and continues to do so. His strength lies in his words, in the splendid images he is able to evoke. And this song is proof: the concrete fear of a past that returns whenever it wants, never warning, is no small thing. Not to mention an enemy to whom you can't assign a face: the future. Ghemon, however, decides to face these two powerful samurais with words, getting help from his friend Zonta, who for the occasion prepares the right beat, where the magnificent and moving strings highlight the slow, but effective rap of the protagonist.

This is for all the sons of bitches who have a past with which they have to settle accounts and for all the sons of bitches whose future is too big and frightening: do not despair, because the bigger they are, the harder they fall.

I'll leave you for now, because my ladies can't wait: they've courted me enough and now they want my brain. Not tonight, my beauties!

"Obsession, destruction, you and your name, light that leads out of the tunnel..."
